WASHINGTON, March 15.-In the Educa.
ton Convention which is in progress
here, City Superintendent F. S. Campbe'l l.
of Oakland, California, spoke of education
on the Pacific Coast. He dwelt at some
length on night schools and their advan.
tage, and paid attention to the needs of a
large class which they met. In the earlier
days of the settlement of the West, the
East was. OF course far ahead of the West
in it's facilities and it's system of educa.
tion, but he felt to-day that the West had
profited by the example of the East in
rea ching out for the very best educational
facilities possible. An interesting discus

The Church Bm-Emperor william De-
ClAr0s for Peace.


BERLIN, March 16.-The Church bill az
passed by the Commissioner OF Oberhaue
grants religious orders the restriction oi
their properties. The report Of the com.
missioner will be placed before the chamber
on Friday. The measure fails to concilia te
the center party, whose final demands have
been formulated by DR.. Windthorst. These
are that the permission accorded in the
bill to form Bishoprics in Limburg and
Osnabruck, be extended to other diocesses
including Cologne. Breslau, Munster and
Ermel, and that the bill shall strictly limit
and defiue the powers of state to veto OF
clerical appointments, and that the discre-
tiOnary powers of q minister of worship
over the re-entry OF religious orders be de-
MED and limited. DR.. Windthorst declares
that there can be no place between church
and State unless these demands shall be
conceded.
It is reported that Emperor William, on
receiving the French General Marquis
d'Abses said: "Tell your compatriots
that there is no danger of war. 81 long
as live shall use my influence to main
tain peace. God will soon call me to him
self. do not wish to leave my people a
heritage of blood. Germany shares nv
desire for good will with the French"

set. Every stitch of canvas was being
used on both boats. There was, at time
the yachts were sighted. strong
breeze blowing from west to northwest.
They were about twenty-five miles apart.
This would Indicate that the yachts are
taking more southerly course than that
pursued by the transatlantic tsamships
at this season. When the observation
was made the Coronet had made about
600 geographical miles and the Dauntless
about $50 miles. Though the Coronet is
IL miles further to eastward. She is. on &C.
count of her more northerly position,
more than this number Of miles in advance
of the Dauntless.

q way that the officer was sure they were
not shown by pilots. The night was clear
and the wind at the time was east north

heading east by south. This fact alone at

the wind than he had ever seen pilot boats
steer. The yachts were then close TO-

There are really no new Developments, and
